Key Takeaways
People are hungry for kindness and I think that everybody knows for the world to continue moving forward or to continue at all, kindness is pretty central and necessary.
What I love being a geriatric psychologist is that I am working with people in the end of their lives and really helping them remember who they are and why they matter.
If you open yourself up you do find people in the path who are helpful and propel you.
The first step in kindness is kind to yourself. And part of that is being grateful.
